HP Color LaserJet CM3530 MFP Series - Color Adjust color settings (continued) Manual color options ● Halftone options affect the color output resolution and clarity. ● Smooth provides better results for large, solid-filled print areas and enhances photographs by smoothing color gradations. Select this option when uniform and smooth area fills are the top priority. ● Detail is useful for text and graphics that require sharp distinctions among lines or colors, or images that contain a pattern or a high level of detail. Select this option when sharp edges and details are the top priority. ● The Neutral Grays setting determines the method for creating gray colors used in text, graphics, and photographs. ● Black Only generates neutral colors (grays and black) by using only black toner. This guarantees neutral colors without a color cast. This setting is best for documents and grayscale viewgraphs. ● 4-Color generates neutral colors (grays and black) by combining all four toner colors. This method produces smoother gradients and transitions to other colors, and it produces the darkest black. ● The Edge Control setting determines how edges are rendered. Edge control has two components: adaptive halftoning and trapping. Adaptive halftoning increases edge sharpness. Trapping reduces the effect of color-plane misregistration by overlapping the edges of adjacent objects slightly. ● Maximum is the most aggressive trapping setting. Adaptive halftoning is on. ● Normal sets trapping at a medium level. Adaptive halftoning is on. ● Light sets trapping at a minimal level, Adaptive halftoning is on. ● Off turns off both trapping and adaptive halftoning. © 2008 Copyright Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. 2 www.hp.com
